How Auralex Can Improve the Sound of a Recording Studio

Dolphin Music customers Copse Corner are located near South Molton on the edge of Exmoor National Park in North Devon. The studio, complete with bar and beautiful surroundings, provides a comfortable and relaxed working environment for every musician. They've recently upgraded their facilities with a wide range of Auralex products, and the results have been outstanding!

Truly, good Soundproofing and Acoustic Treatment can do wonders for a recording studio, and turn outto be a, with excuse of the pun, a sound investment! By improving the acoustics of your studio, you're offering a better service, and better quality to your potential customers - therefore increasing the chances to drive up your business!

Rob Watson, from Copse Corner, knows this too well and shares his experience with us:

"At Copse Corner, our focus is strongly on quality and striving to capture an almost production-ready sound before mixing... the various Auralex products that have been installed have made our aims and objectives possible."

The studio live room has a large spread of the 4" wedges, combined with LENRD bass traps in the corners, and spot treatment of 2" wedges. This combination has drastically improved the balance of sound in the room and is helping the studio engineers to spend the mixing time on actually mixing and not on correcting - recordings made in untreated rooms can be very frustrating to mix, and rarely yield the desired results. Mixing has been further improved in the control room with the installation of a large coverage of Auralex DST 114, and again the ever-reliable bass traps.

Rob continues:

"Perhaps the most significant improvement has been with drum recording, thanks to an Auralex Hoverdeck combined with the Hovermat. We admit that we were sceptical about the products before trying them out, however we were astonished at the difference these two products have made to drum recordings.The definition of the captured drum sound is incredible; it is so detailed and the Hoverdeck and Hovermat have made mixing somuch easier! The increased definition of the drum sound also makes it easier to find problems with the drums, e.g. over-ringing floor toms and unwanted hardware rattles."

Other Auralex products Copse Corner Studios have purchased include: two Mudguards and a several boxes of Platfeet to help isolate microphone stands.

"When it comes to sound treatment at our studio, we are serious about it: that’s why we choose Auralex, and our clients are very glad that we do."
